Abstract

A suspension system for the drive wheel (17) of a motorcycle driven by a chain (25) cooperating with sprockets (23, 24) on the engine and wheel shafts. The suspension system comprises a linkage arrangement associated with the swing arm (22), with inboard linkage parts (27, 28, 32, 33) positioned in the region between the wheel and the motor, with the swing arm (23) substantially in a plane containing the axes of the engine sprocket (23) and the wheel sprocket (24), and with an obliquely inclined link (34d) interconnecting the swing arm (22) and the inboard linkage parts (27, 28, 32, 33).
